RUTH WILL NOT BE HOME TONIGHT!
As soon as the door opened, Ruth was the first one to rush inside, breaking through Rees's hold. She knew that more than consoling her, that hold was meant to keep her at bay from Edwin, to keep her safe.
But she did not care about herself. All she cared about was the man whose heart beat for her.
"Edwin... Edwin..." She called his name as she ran frantically.
She did not need to tell where Edwin was as she could hear loud growls and grunts along with some other loud sounds coming from the basement.
"Ruth stop!" Rees, Lester and Thea were hot on her tail.
Ruth stumbled on the stairs that led to the basement. As soon as she reached the midway, the foul smell entered her nostrils, making her scrunch up her nose. The dim light could not stop her, nor it could slow down her pace.
Ruth saw a dark path ahead with prison cells to both of its sides. Something about that place made her skin crawl in fear and disgust. She had never seen a place like that before.
